If you’re anything like us, you’ve been itching for that first warm summer night in downtown Columbus — where the sun sets late, the skyline glows, and live music echoes through the city streets.
Lucky for all of us, the Columbus Commons just dropped their 2025 outdoor summer concert lineup… and it’s absolutely stacked.
We’re talking a Shadowbox Live tribute to Aerosmith and Van Halen, a full-blown Rick Ross performance backed by the Columbus Symphony Orchestra (yes, you read that right), a Commons Ground concert featuring Nelly (2000s nostalgia galore), and plenty more.
Whether you’re looking to dance, vibe, picnic, or just soak up the sounds of summer without spending a dime (many of these are free!), this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting lineups the Commons has ever put together.
